ADJUSTABLE SHADE-BRACKET.

SPECIFICAJIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 708,226, dated September 2, 1902.

Application filed J'anuary 20. 1902. Serial No. 90,500. (NO modal.)

Z0 all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST IIANSON, acitizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Adjnstable Shade-Bracket, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to curtainfixtures, and more particularly to improved adjustable shade-roller brackets adapted for usein connection With a curtain-pole bracket.

The object of the invention is to provide an adjnstable bracket capable of quick and easy adjustment, whereby shade-rollers of different lengths can be aecommodated, and another object is to provide an adjustable bracket which when once adjusted oan be socurely held and all danger of displacement avoided.

With these objects in view the invention consists ofthe novel features.of construction and combination, all of which Will be fnlly described hereinafter and pointed out in the claims. r

In the drawings forminga part of thisspecification, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the practical application ofmy invention. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view illustrating the combination of the curtain-pole bracket and shade-roller bracket. Fig. 3 is a face view of the face-plate of the shaderoller bracket. Fig. 4 is a view taken from the rear 01: the same. Fig. 5 is a VieW illustrating in detail the securing means of the shade-roller bracket. Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional view of the said bracket, and Fig. 7 is et section on the line 7 7 ofFig. 6.

In earrying out my invention I en1ploy a face-plate A, said plate having a recess A provided on the rear thereof for nearly its entire length, said recessed portion hein g slotted horizontally or longitudinally, as shown vided with apertures A",through which screws are passed for the purpose of securing the The ends of the face-plate are pro-' to the window-frame and provided with the usual construction of curved rest B having the set-Screw B for the purpose of securing the pole in the said rest. Thebracket-plate 0 bas a reduced end 0, which fits into and slides in the slot A This bracket-plate is also formed with a flange 0 which is arranged at a right angle to the plate 0 and has an opening C produced therein and through which passes the bolt D, said bolt passing through the slot A into the threaded opening E, produced in the block E, which fits into the recess A and is, provided With an extension-hg E which is adapted to fit into an opening C", produced in the reduced end 0 of the bracket-plate 0, the flange C and,block E, together With the screw D, serving to hold the bracket-plate 0 secu-rely in any desired position. The bracketplate 0 is of course provided With an opening 0 for the purpose of receiving the spindle of the shad-roller. Whenever it is desired to adjnst the bracket-plabe, the screw Dis slightly loosened and the plate moved along in either direction the desired distance, the block E sliding in the recess, while the bolt or sorew slides in the slot, and after the desired position has been obtained the 'screw or bolt is again tightened, thereby securely fitting the face-plate bracket, plate, and block together, and inasmuch as the block .is provided with an extension-hg which fits ;into the reduced end of the bracket-plate it will be readily understood that the said bracket-plate will be securely held against any' possible displaeemen 13.

33 having the curtain-pole bracket secured 'upon the face-plate of the shade-roller bracketand bearing against the shouldered end of said face-plate ail danger of the said 'curtain-pole bracket turning is avoided.

It Will thus be seen that I provide a simple and efficient construction of cnrtain-fixture, in which the shade-roller brackets can be adj usted at Will without dis.turbing the curtainranged in therecess of the face-plate and havthe recess of the face-plate, and having an 10 ing an extension fitting into the aperture et extension fitting into the apertured end of the reduced end of the shade-bracket, and theshade-bracket, and abolt passing through means for connecting the bracket-plate and the perforated flange and entering the said 5 block as set; forth. block as and for the purpose described.
